    Hi @user57 ! 🙂


    I think you’re using a OAuth 2.0 Auth app,

    Is it a file you have access to, when you’re using Box.com in your browser ?


    box_subject_type refers to either an enterprise, or a user.


    If you’re trying to download a file with a standard OAuth 2.0 app, make sure you have access to this specific file if you’re logged in with a specific user.
